[@alexanderdoddy7590]

@@themandateofheaven4655 There was a slight delay at the end of last year which knocked on, however, there is plenty of Hannibal to come!

[@alexanderthegreat445]

Hannibal didn’t need an addition to his name like ‘the conquerer’. His name was enough to stir up fear.

[@HistoryMarche]

Yeah, he was so bad ass he could've just ditched his last name too, even though the Barca family had some terrific generals.

[@theemperorschosen7607]

He didn't even need a "THE" title to be badass.

[@RS-kt6is]

Although he didn't really finish his conquest of Italy. On the contrary...

[@sacredband7089]

Being a barca is more than enoigh reason to have a nightmare for a roman

[@billb0313]

Good tactician; poor strategist. That's why Hannibal failed in the end. Very few can claim to be both. Patton was probably the best general in history. A master tactician AND strategist. Too bad Ike tied his hands Ghengis Khan is the other that obviously comes to mind.

[@robertdevito5001]

“Hannibals center is collapsing” Well, now we all know the romans are about to lose.

[@HistoryMarche]

hehe

[@berserker1340]

Nice foreshadowing

[@RexGalilae]

10:50 I love the narrative style here, hiding Hannibals main tactic until it's unveiling. Keeps the suspense. It's something other channels should also start doing honestly

[@HistoryMarche]

Thank you sir for the positive feedback.

[@RexGalilae]

@Nuclear Nadal Me too man. As for now, you can check out the series on the Kings and Generals channel. It's pretty good and the series is still active. As for the pic, it's a painting of a young Napoleon of him leading a daring charge across the bridge against an Austrian line at Pont d'Arcole where he earned his nickname "The Little Corporal"

[@moryankek2433]

Nice

[@anthonysimmons1372]

Agree 100%

[@markmorris7123]

Totally agree.

[@FlashPointHx]

Hannibal was a master of tactical warfare - his actions represented the epitome of Sun Tzu’s dictates. All warfare is based on deception. When you are near, pretend that you are far. Never let your enemy choose the place for engagement. Etc. superb video as always!

[@HistoryMarche]

Thanks mate! I'd recommend everyone to go watch your Hannibal videos! DM-ed you on Twitter.

[@kaneda5438]

too bad there is no happy end for him.

[@kaneda5438]

@Kinder Egg World speculation. but i was more thinking of hannibal than the realms.

[@TheKeithvidz]

i own Sun's book.

[@user-gb7ji6xy5d]

Can't agree more. I'm Chinese myself and when I first read about the preparations Hannibal took at Cannae (to count on the dust thrown into the air by tens of thousands would be blown by the wind straight in the Romans' face, to prey on Varro's personality flaws, to lure in the enemies by feigning weakness, etc), I couldn't help but notice that he almost employed every trick Sun Tzu had written about despite the two never knowing about each other. Great minds think alike, indeed.

[@alexandrugabrielbisti3830]

If history had been taught in this way in school, students would not want to go home from school anymore. This is so good...

[@Pfsif]

Education starts after school is over. School is for propaganda.

[@Urbicid]

@@Pfsif I disagree, School has its advantages, any true strategist would use it to its advantage instead of brushing it off. You got a lot to learn.

[@Urbicid]

It can be taught that way, is up to the teachers style. A creative teacher can keep the students entertained and learning at the same time. Also schooling doesn't end there as PFSIf mentioned. As a parent I think we are responsible to enforce that as well. I agree with you fully and partially agree with pfsif.

[@oringogringo9736]

@@Urbicid The guy is right, school is mostly for propaganda purposes. Only excepetion for propgadna is science like mathemathics, physics, chemistry. The rest like language lessons, religion, science about society etc. is for propaganda prupose only, at least in my country.

@@HistoryMarche Historia Civilis channel showed that battle a little bit differently. I suppose, sources are not perfectly clear?

[@galgar5660]

I live in southern Italy and once I visited the ruins of a greek colony on the top of a hill. Then I discovered that the plain under the hill was the scene of a battle between romans and Pirrus (battle of heraclea). You can imagine how much I was fascinated.

[@HistoryMarche]

Would love to go there one day.

[@sabas7549]

Drop the pin, for future reference.

[@MrCushcam]

Pyrrhus was Hannibals idol and also a fantastic general who managed to gather together multiple different cultures and fighting styles and make them all fight the Hellenic way. He also wrote a book on tactics (which has been lost to history sadly) that Hannibal studied and implemented in his battles.

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

How much brother?

[@NodDisciple1]

I'm impressed that Hannibal got the individualistic Celts to fight in a more classical style. Especially since a good part of their prestige system was so dependent on proving themselves in individual combat. A system that encouraged one on one duels and a eagerness to charge at the foe. Something that is very counter to the more classical style of combat.

[@HistoryMarche]

Indeed, controlling his army so tightly is quite an achievement.

[@Ghost-vi8qm]

Hannibal must have been extremely persuasive and charismatic with great leadership skills.

[@MrProtopopescovici]

I love how the veteran legionares managed to get out of that situation. Great video as usual

[@first1evolve]

The music starting at around 4.30 helps build the tension in an awesome way. Pure gold!

[@seanb5888]

'What the Romans didn't know...' seems to be a theme when facing Hannibal.

[@Isildun9]

It's interesting here that Hannibal found himself in the same situation here at Trebia that Lee found himself at Gettysburg, centuries later: a potential unplanned battle developing from a skirmish. The difference is that Hannibal was able to gain control of his army and pull them back, while Lee simply decided that he could not withdraw and decided to fight, much to loss in his army.

[@HistoryMarche]

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that.

Well to be fair, in all 3 Hannibal's Major victories in Italy it's equal measure his merit and the enemy commander big blunder, (Like not scouting ahead or accepting blinddly to fight on a open terrain and charge vs a proven superior cavalry) Quinto Flavio Massimo was a good general and won on the strategic level. Not saying Hannibal wasn't one of the best generals in history (you have to take advantage of the enemy mistakes and make him do them) but his opposition was very poor
